Where the Flavour Lies
Where the Flavour Lies.
The scene is a milk bar. Enter a customer.
First Customer: A glass of milk, please.
Attendant: Certainly sir. (Customer gulps down milk, and to the general astonishment of fellow-customers, bites a piece off the top of glass, chews and swallows it).
Customer: Gimme a bigger glass. (Repeats the performance, pays and strides out).
Second Customer: Ex—rather a queer chap that.
Attendant: Yes, sir.
Second Customer: Do you think he's —er—normal?
Attendant: No, sir. I think he's very queer.
Second Customer: Oh, queer, eh?
Attendant: Yes, sir, quite. You see, sir (very confidentially) it's the thick part of the glass at the bottom that tastes the best.
